Rumor: New Bioshock plasmid pack potentially heading our way via download?

Take this one with a heaping spoonful of salt (for now), but a poster over on the 2K forums has found some code buried in and .ini file that seems to point towards some new plasmid action to help take down the Big Daddies.

There's actually a few references that the guy found.

[ShockGame.AirBlast]
FriendlyName=Sonic Boom
Description=(Downloaded) Hurls creatures and objects BACK with a BLAST of force.
LockedContent=true

and there's more...

You can find even more over at the original forum post.

So what do you think? If a download pack worth it for some new plasmid abilities?

I'll be honest -- I'd be a little pissed. Not because of new plasmids DLC (which would be awesome) but because this would suggest that the content is already on the disc and we're being asked to pay to unlock it.

Mind you, it's totally possible that I'm misunderstanding this and sound like a retardasaurus right now, which I can only hope would be the case.

Wouldn't be the first time. Maybe it will be a free download.

I dunno, I'm almost finished with the game... I'm not sure that adding a few new plasmids would make me want to play it over again. Maybe if there was a multiplayer component, it'd be useful.
